Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of differential accessories, in particular to a lubricating structure for a half-axle gear shank. Background Art

[0002] Differential side gears play a crucial role in automobiles. They not only transmit power but, more importantly, redirect torque and achieve differential rotation. Their performance and condition directly impact the vehicle's driving safety and comfort. Therefore, the lubrication of the side gear's shank during assembly with the housing is particularly important.

[0003] Current axle gear shank designs are typically cylindrical, meeting assembly and lubrication requirements through increased roughness and controlled assembly dimensions. The outer diameter of the axle shank and the housing form a clearance fit, and during operation, lubricant is applied through the clearance between the axle gear and the housing. This can lead to insufficient lubrication and poor lubrication, ultimately causing unusual noises, jerking sensations, and even vehicle immobilization, deviation, and severe shaking.

[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to improve this shortcoming. The utility model studies and improves the existing structural deficiencies and provides a half-axle gear shank lubrication structure. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a lubricating structure for the shank of a half-axle gear to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0007] Furthermore, the gear teeth are arranged in a ring shape and at equal distances on the top of the step plate, and the gear teeth and the step plate are integrated.

[0008] Furthermore, the flat oil guide groove is symmetrically opened on both sides of the wheel axle, and the length of the flat oil guide groove is not less than two-thirds of the length of the wheel axle, and the depth of the single-sided flat oil guide groove is 1.5 to 2.5 mm.

[0009] Furthermore, the oil leakage groove is opened on the end face of the wheel axle, and the depth of the oil leakage groove is not less than 1.5 mm, and the width of the oil leakage groove is not less than 4 mm.

[0010] Furthermore, the shell is connected to the step plate through a half-axle gasket, and the gap between the inner surface of the shell and the end face of the wheel axle is no more than 1 mm.

[0011] Furthermore, the planetary gear is connected to the housing through a planetary gasket and a straight shaft, and the inner side of the planetary gear is in close contact with the tooth-shaped portion of the gear teeth.

[0012] The utility model provides a lubrication structure for the shank of axle shaft gear, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. The utility model designs two symmetrical flat portions on the outer circle of the shank of the axle shaft gear, and designs oil leakage grooves on the end faces corresponding to the flat portions of the shank. When the axle shaft gear in the differential rotates at high speed, the lubricating oil can quickly flow through the axle shaft gear and the housing to ensure good lubrication between the two, thereby avoiding the situation where the axle shaft gear is not fully lubricated and the lubrication effect is poor, resulting in abnormal noise in the differential, a bumpy feeling in the vehicle, and even the vehicle being unable to drive, running off the track, and shaking violently.
